Mission
The Graduate School of the University of Missouri-St Louis promotes culturally
and intellectually diverse learning environments in which scholarship
and creativity can flourish.
Role
To fulfill the teaching and research goals of the UM-St. Louis, the Graduate
School provides leadership to graduate programs that inspire in students
a passion for discoveries. In contrast to those in traditional universities,
our programs reflect our mission as a public metropolitan research university:
our faculty members’ and students’ scholarship advances understanding
of their disciplines in rapidly changing local, regional, and global contexts.
In concert with the Graduate Council, the Graduate School:
- Provides an environment in which students and faculty can work together to acquire, discover, preserve, synthesize, and transmit knowledge;
- Continuously reviews the university's graduate programs and policies to maintain rigorous academic standards and respond to innovations in teaching and research;
- Facilitates interdisciplinary communication and endeavors.
